27 28Special thanks to:
29 30 Inaky Perez Gonzalez <inaky@peloncho.fis.ucm.es> for starting the
31 Linux USB driver effort and writing much of the larger uusbd driver.
32 Much has been learned from that effort.
33 34 The NetBSD & FreeBSD USB developers. For being on the Linux USB list
35 and offering suggestions and sharing implementation experiences.
36 37Additional thanks to the following companies and people for donations
38of hardware, support, time and development (this is from the original
39THANKS file in Inaky's driver):
40 41 The following corporations have helped us in the development
42 of Linux USB / UUSBD:
43 44 - 3Com GmbH for donating a ISDN Pro TA and supporting me
45 in technical questions and with test equipment. I'd never
46 expect such a great help.
47 48 - USAR Systems provided us with one of their excellent USB
49 Evaluation Kits. It allows us to test the Linux-USB driver
50 for compliance with the latest USB specification. USAR
51 Systems recognized the importance of an up-to-date open
52 Operating System and supports this project with
53 Hardware. Thanks!.
54 55 - Thanks to Intel Corporation for their precious help.
56 57 - We teamed up with Cherry to make Linux the first OS with
58 built-in USB support. Cherry is one of the biggest keyboard
59 makers in the world.
60 61 - CMD Technology, Inc. sponsored us kindly donating a CSA-6700
62 PCI-to-USB Controller Board to test the OHCI implementation.
63 64 - Due to their support to us, Keytronic can be sure that they
65 will sell keyboards to some of the 3 million (at least)
66 Linux users.
67 68 - Many thanks to ing büro h doran [http://www.ibhdoran.com]! 69 It was almost impossible to get a PC backplate USB connector
70 for the motherboard here at Europe (mine, home-made, was
71 quite lousy :). Now I know where to acquire nice USB stuff!
72 73 - Genius Germany donated a USB mouse to test the mouse boot
74 protocol. They've also donated a F-23 digital joystick and a
75 NetMouse Pro. Thanks!
76 77 - AVM GmbH Berlin is supporting the development of the Linux
78 USB driver for the AVM ISDN Controller B1 USB. AVM is a
79 leading manufacturer for active and passive ISDN Controllers
80 and CAPI 2.0-based software. The active design of the AVM B1
81 is open for all OS platforms, including Linux.
82 83 - Thanks to Y-E Data, Inc. for donating their FlashBuster-U
84 USB Floppy Disk Drive, so we could test the bulk transfer
85 code.
86 87 - Many thanks to Logitech for contributing a three axis USB
88 mouse.
89 90 Logitech designs, manufactures and markets
91 Human Interface Devices, having a long history and
92 experience in making devices such as keyboards, mice,
93 trackballs, cameras, loudspeakers and control devices for
94 gaming and professional use.
95 96 Being a recognized vendor and seller for all these devices,
97 they have donated USB mice, a joystick and a scanner, as a
98 way to acknowledge the importance of Linux and to allow
99 Logitech customers to enjoy support in their favorite
100 operating systems and all Linux users to use Logitech and
101 other USB hardware.
102 103 Logitech is official sponsor of the Linux Conference on
104 Feb. 11th 1999 in Vienna, where we'll will present the
105 current state of the Linux USB effort.
106 107 - CATC has provided means to uncover dark corners of the UHCI
108 inner workings with a USB Inspector.
109 110 - Thanks to Entrega for providing PCI to USB cards, hubs and
111 converter products for development.

114 serial converter, and the documentation for the device to
115 allow a driver to be written.
116 117 - Thanks to ADMtek for providing Pegasus and Pegasus II
118 evaluation boards, specs and valuable advices during
119 the driver development.
120 121 And thanks go to (hey! in no particular order :)

171 172 - Mike Smith, Craig Keithley, Thierry Giron and Janet Schank
173 for convincing me USB Standard hubs are not that standard
174 and that's good to allow for vendor specific quirks on the
175 standard hub driver.
